Benötige ich einen Flugplan für die Visumantragstellung?

Direct answer

Ja, viele Visumanträge erfordern ein Weiterflugticket oder Flugprogramm — einschließlich Schengen-Kurzzeitvisa, UK-Besuchervisa, kanadische Besuchervisa und australische ETA-Dokumentation. Botschaften wollen den Nachweis, dass Ihr Reiseplan im Buchungssystem der Fluggesellschaft existiert. Eine echte Buchung mit einem verifizierbaren PNR erfüllt diese Anforderung, ohne dass Sie vor der Genehmigung ein Vollpreisticket kaufen müssen.

Statutory basis for submitting a reservation instead of a paid ticket

Consulates require applicants to demonstrate planned entry and exit dates, yet explicitly caution against buying non-refundable airfare prior to visa issuance. Under the EU Visa Code (Regulation (EC) No 810/2009, Annex II), the required supporting document for a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa is a "return or round-trip ticket, oder eine Reservierung davon." Similarly, UK Home Office (UKVI) Visitor Supporting Documents guidance advises applicants not to purchase non-refundable tickets before a decision is made.

Visa categories that commonly request an itinerary

  • Schengen short-stay (Type C) visas (€90 adult / €45 child visa fee; submitted via VFS Global, BLS, or TLScontact)
  • UK Standard Visitor & transit visa dossiers
  • Canada Temporary Resident Visa (TRV / IRCC) & Australia Visitor (Subclass 600)
  • Digital Nomad, Student, and Business visa applications across Europe, Asia, and Latin America

Timing, pricing & limitations

One-Way reservations cost $7, Return reservations cost $11, and Multi-City reservations cost $9 per leg (no base fee). For consular submissions, order 24 hours before your appointment and select the 7 days validity add-on (+$7.99 flat per order) rather than the 48 hours standard hold. Note that a reservation is a temporary held itinerary, not a purchased e-ticket for boarding, and PNR verification confirms the booking exists in the GDS while active—it does not guarantee visa approval. See Immigration & Consular Regulations.

Frequently asked questions

Does the embassy verify the PNR on a visa flight itinerary?
Consular officers can look up the 6-character PNR on the airline website or GDS during initial file review. A real GDS reservation resolves as an active hold while within its 48-hour or 7-day validity window.
Should I choose 48-hour or 7-day validity for a visa appointment?
Choose the 7 days validity add-on ($7.99 flat per order) for visa applications so the reservation remains active across biometric intake and initial consular review.
What happens if my visa application is refused or delayed?
The held reservation expires automatically at the end of its validity window with no airline cancellation penalty, so your financial exposure is limited to the reservation service fee.
